- 0:39Speaker 1: art of stream thinking. Stream thinking is learning how to
- 0:44Speaker 1: trust what is in your present place of all things
- 0:46Speaker 1: right now. It sounds so big right when it's really not.
- 0:50Speaker 1: To get there just requires a little bit of practice.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Here's what I do. I take one sheet of paper
- 0:54Speaker 1: every day, just ten frickin' minutes right about whatever is
- 0:59Speaker 1: moving your present place of right now, the good, the bad,
- 1:02Speaker 1: the ugly, the twist, the spans absolutely no judgment. Stream
- 1:06Speaker 1: thinking is going to sharpen your skills as a listener,
- 1:09Speaker 1: as a communicator, and more importantly, as an activator. It
- 1:13Speaker 1: is learning how to trust your right now. This is
- 1:17Speaker 1: stream thinking today. We're reading from October fourth, twenty twenty five.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Those moments when you know you really haven't grown up.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Mine has always been associated with the new music. At
- 1:30Speaker 1: the age of fourteen in Billings, Montana, where I had
- 1:32Speaker 1: a bedroom radio station that could actually broadcast one hundred
- 1:36Speaker 1: feet from my house, Playing new music on that station
- 1:40Speaker 1: was essential. Oh guess what, at sixty three, I'm still
- 1:44Speaker 1: wearing that fourteen year old slippers. I make it a
- 1:47Speaker 1: point to listen and to take in all things new music,
- 1:51Speaker 1: no matter what the format is. I mean, I love
- 1:53Speaker 1: me some Justin Bieber, this album of his Swag, Oh
- 1:56Speaker 1: my God. And I can't get enough of Showgirl from
- 1:59Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. My metal is Dystopika, my country. It's always
- 2:03Speaker 1: going to lean on Morgan Wallen at least today. But
- 2:06Speaker 1: if you're going to go young on the inside, make
- 2:09Speaker 1: sure you're outside shows the same view. It really is
- 2:14Speaker 1: up to you. Eh, it's a tough one. I always
- 2:17Speaker 1: thought that Dick Clark never grew up. I think the
- 2:20Speaker 1: same about Ryan Seacrest. They didn't grow up. Howard Stern
- 2:23Speaker 1: he matured, but I don't think he grew up the
- 2:27Speaker 1: people of the entertainment industry are kind of giving this
- 2:29Speaker 1: legal license to do exactly what they do because it
- 2:32Speaker 1: may have started out as an original seed somewhere back
- 2:35Speaker 1: there in their teens. But the focus today is on you.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Whatever your job is in life, whatever your position, whatever
- 2:43Speaker 1: your vision is, what is your feeling on the inside
- 2:47Speaker 1: and how many conversations do you have with that inner
- 2:49Speaker 1: self of when you were a preteen or a teen,
- 2:54Speaker 1: the most important yet underdeveloped years of your life, and
- 2:58Speaker 1: do they still have strength connected to your decision making
- 3:02Speaker 1: even today. I don't listen to new music to stay young.
- 3:07Speaker 1: I listen to new music because I happened to enjoy it,
- 3:09Speaker 1: and so did that fourteen year old kid in Billings, Montana.
- 3:13Speaker 1: I listen to Justin Bieber because Justin Bieber is pretty good,
- 3:17Speaker 1: and so is Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen. Not bad,
- 3:21Speaker 1: not bad, Not because I'm trying to hold on to
- 3:24Speaker 1: my early years. Yes, I've got the long hair, has
- 3:27Speaker 1: nothing to do with that fourteen year old kid because
- 3:30Speaker 1: he didn't have long hair. So I do invite you
- 3:33Speaker 1: to do the same thing with your own personal age
- 3:36Speaker 1: and view on life. Be you be young, and if
- 3:41Speaker 1: you have days where you want to be old. Prepare yourself,
- 3:45Speaker 1: wear a seat belt, and just know there's always going
- 3:49Speaker 1: to be a pain somewhere in your body when you
- 3:52Speaker 1: act old, because that part of your body wants all
- 3:57Speaker 1: the attention, which takes away from your heart and your imagination. Hey,
- 4:03Speaker 1: coming up next, we're going to be putting focus on
- 4:05Speaker 1: the things that you've done in life that you're proud of,
- 4:09Speaker 1: but other people have no idea what you've even done. Hey,
- 4:15Speaker 1: welcome back to stream Thinking today. We're reading from October eleventh,
- 4:18Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. And this is going to sound pompous
- 4:21Speaker 1: and probably a little conceited, but please, I hope not
- 4:26Speaker 1: people have no idea as to what I have done
- 4:30Speaker 1: in forty six years of crafting this requirement of being
- 4:35Speaker 1: a broadcaster and learning how to keep the monsters at bay.
- 4:41Speaker 1: It is absolutely normal for a sixty three year old
- 4:44Speaker 1: man or woman to openly admit maybe I should have
- 4:48Speaker 1: been a professional bowler. Ooh. Reflecting on your life is
- 4:53Speaker 1: so important. It's about identity, legacy, and your purpose. When
- 5:00Speaker 1: life slows down just a tiny bit, but that's when
- 5:04Speaker 1: you start asking the questions, and those questions will pop
- 5:07Speaker 1: up when you least expect, and if you don't have
- 5:10Speaker 1: the answer, your body is going to react. Who really
- 5:14Speaker 1: knows who you are? How did you even get to
- 5:17Speaker 1: this point in the chapter of the book. It's not confusion,
- 5:22Speaker 1: but it's seen as part of the awakening. It's decades
- 5:28Speaker 1: of choices, transformations and wearing multiple masks. I would endlessly
- 5:36Speaker 1: ask my mother about certain things that took place growing
- 5:40Speaker 1: up in that family in Billings, Montana, nineteen sixties to
- 5:45Speaker 1: the present, and my mother would always say I don't know.
- 5:50Speaker 1: That disappointed me because at my age and growing up
- 5:54Speaker 1: with my mother who always said I don't know, it
- 5:58Speaker 1: injured me because I did need to know and nobody
- 6:02Speaker 1: in the family was writing it down. I would go
- 6:06Speaker 1: to my grandmother, a step grandmother, not my real blood
- 6:09Speaker 1: given grandmother, and I would ask her about the history.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you mean you don't know?
- 6:16Speaker 1: That's what mom said, you don't know. I don't know.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Then I went to my blood relatives, my uncle who
- 6:22Speaker 1: used to call me show off when I was a
- 6:24Speaker 1: kid because he said that's how I said the word sheriff.
- 6:28Speaker 1: And yet as a broadcaster of forty six years, I
- 6:30Speaker 1: think he got it right, show off. That's right, the
- 6:33Speaker 1: show off, because that's all I do, is I show off,
- 6:37Speaker 1: because I'm not that person that's ever going to say
- 6:40Speaker 1: I don't know now what I will share with you
- 6:44Speaker 1: after writing for thirty four years as a daily writer,
- 6:48Speaker 1: that it's in the books. Tell me what you want
- 6:51Speaker 1: me to go look up and I'll share with you
- 6:54Speaker 1: what was moving through me. But you have to understand
- 6:56Speaker 1: that when you are a daily writer, or when you
- 6:59Speaker 1: keep your journals or your diaries, whatever you're doing to
- 7:02Speaker 1: document your legacy, your purpose and plan, it is your interpretation.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And that's been one of the hardest things to deal
- 7:11Speaker 1: with coming from my family of eight children, because we
- 7:15Speaker 1: did have the parental figures, but every child in that
- 7:20Speaker 1: family has a different story. Now is that shocking to me?
- 7:26Speaker 1: It was until I looked at the Bible and realized,
- 7:30Speaker 1: same story, just a different way to share it. What
- 7:35Speaker 1: is your story? Are you writing things down? I'm not
- 7:38Speaker 1: gonna say please do it because you're not gonna listen
- 7:40Speaker 1: to me. It comes when you least expect it. Just
- 7:43Speaker 1: know that when it happens, your life is gonna change.
- 7:47Speaker 1: And here's my thing, just between the two of us,
- 7:49Speaker 1: I don't care if somebody reads my writing. I just
- 7:52Speaker 1: don't care. The reason why is because I'll go Okay,
- 7:55Speaker 1: if you're too freaking lazy to ask me about it,
- 7:58Speaker 1: then go put your nose where it doesn't belong and
- 8:01Speaker 1: get your own interpretation. I'm Maril, and that's stream thinking.
